It would have overwhelmed the medical system of the country and deaths would have, and will be, several times higher than using some common sense about how it happens. Personally I am not willing to let my Dad die just because some asshole in a maga hat 'needs' a haircut, contrary to what the Lt. Governor of Texas may think. If that jerk really believed the horse he spit, he should have started with himself and his family.
Of course I disagree with your theory, and it is just that... a theory.
And because of the extreme way you feel I can't do things like get my MAGA X 2 license plate that was available for fear of my truck being vandalized because of my political beliefs.
TDS is very real, and it really doesn't matter what trump does it will be wrong, if there is undeniable evidence that he is right it would be in the wrong amount of time, and if there was undeniable evidence that it was right and in the right amount of time then it would be for the wrong reason.
I get it.
The scene, 2016, fall. 79 year old man sits in chair, one leg over the other, watching TV as was the normal since I was old enough to remember. Retired on a medical, union job, life time Democrat, suffering from Alzheimer's and living with me for the rest of his life.
He's watching riots, looting, people crying and screaming "not my president" all 3 of the mainstream channels as well as CNN same feeds.
He looks at me with a more confused than usual face and says:
"Jim.... none of this happened when Obama was elected president"
I said:
"Bingo Dad. When Obama was elected, Republicans would have been the only ones with reason to protest. Do you know who is protesting?"
Dad:
"Democrats then"
Me:
"Yes. Dad I became a Republican when I found out that Democrats were generally pro abortion, anti Church and anti God, and were in favor of government telling us what to do because they think they know what is good for us better than we do."
Dad:
"Jim, I feel just like you do about all those things"
Me:
"Then Dad, why are you a Democrat?"
Dad (after getting an angry look on his face and puffing out his chest a little):
"Because my daddy was a Democrat"
He passed in 2017 just a week or so before his 80th birthday.
